On Mexico, he was referencing the conversation they had at the G20 Summit where they specifically talked about the issues that he referenced.

I wouldn't say it's a lie, it's a pretty bold accusation. The conversations took place, they just simply didn't take place over a phone call, but he had them in person.

The President had no knowledge of this story and it's completely untrue that he or the White House involvement in the story.

The statement that Don Jr. issued is true. There's no inaccuracy in the statement. The president weighed in, as any father would, based on the limited information that he had.

He does not have a role at this time in the Trump administration and we put out a statement earlier announcing that.

I'm not sure about the specific communications and the nature of those conversations.

I believe he was making a joke at the time.

the president felt his comments were inappropriate.

today I wish to recognize the distinguished public service career of Cynthia K. Dohner. Cindy served the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service with distinction and honor for more than 24 years and will leave the Service on August 30, 2017…

I was delayed in returning to the floor. If present, I would have voted ``yea.'' Stated against:

If the president wants someone fired, then Priebus would be gone.

I was encouraged that we might finally be able to export rice to China with the completion of the phytosanitary agreement.

The president still has confidence in Sessions, if the president wanted Sessions out, then Sessions would be out.

It's supposed to be on Russian meddling. This whole investigation is on that. That would be outside the scope.

should not move outside the scope of the investigation.

I think that the president, the point he's trying to make is that the clear purpose of the Russia investigation is to review Russia's meddling in the election and that that should be the focus of the investigation, nothing beyond that.

Thank you, Senator Cardin--to have the Water Supply Cost Savings Act enacted into law.

Thank you so much. We do appreciate your leadership.
